When Kimiko was a little girl, her friends back in elementary school teased her saying that Yo-Kai don't exist and she's often a victim of cruel play dates. which forced her wanting to commit suicide but then she across a Yo-Kai named Koenra she made her smile and not listen to all the evil that the classmates at school give her. Her parents were surprised to see her do that.

When Kimiko was 13 one night she was heading back from a ball game with her parents. When she saw Kin and Gin, she yelled at her parents to stop the vehicle and her father slammed on the breaks. She didn't expect what would happen next. Her parents were killed in an instant. Blood splatted all over her face and on the road. She lost everything from her parents and the times they used to have. She collapsed on the floor crying.

One day when Kimiko and Tetsuya were walking home from school, they find a mysterious woman and she almost ran into her not knowing where she was going. She notices the woman and she looked back at the two who were walking home. She introduces herself and Tetsuya to the woman.

When she and Tetsuya encounter Yakkai, she jokes to her that she's a midget causing her to summon a Kaima. When Yakkai summoned the Kaima, she and Tetsuya ran away from it but then saw Yakkai getting closer to Enraenra. She and Tetsuya told Yakkai that fighting the Kaima is our top priority.
